RESPECT TO NOI AND THE RASTAFARI BLACK LIBERATION MOVEMENTS.

I like to take the time to pay respect to two long time spiritual movements that have been dedicated to the rise of black people for over half a century. Those two movements are the Nation Of Islam (NOI) and the Rastafarian movement in Jamaica. These two spiritual movements have something very much in common, despite their obvious religious differences. They both were formed in the early 1900’s as a direct response or reaction to white supremacy and the mistreatment of blacks. Thus, both movements have black liberation and rise as a cornerstone of their ideology.

In regards to the Rastafarian movement, particular respect goes out to the Nyahbinghi and Bobo Ashanti and their relentless attack indictment against Babylon and its mistreatment of African people.

This is not intended as a promotion of any religion, but rather, a Pan African paying respects to those who have and continue to carry the torch for black liberation and rise to our full potential as human beings.
